I knew it would be good to have solar but I wasn't really prepared for how good it feels. There's something magical about having these black panels on the roof that make electricity. It just seems crazy that I wasn't doing that before. It's like every house should be able to generate some of its power and it's so affordable and it just makes so much sense!
The system we've now had more than a year so we've been able to see how it's performed and it's more than 10% above what Dunedin Solar estimated it would be on the quote, so that's really pleasing. That equated to a lot of savings and a lot of CO2 savings as well. For the first year it came in at $1,962, which is a 9.1% return on investment. And because the electricity prices keep going up, chances are that return on investment will go up year on year. In fact, next year it will be 9.4% if I generate the same amount of solar, so I'm really happy with that.
